Third-party reviews

What we like about Whirlpool C WSD 83M WBS

  • A depth of 54.5 cm suits shallow spaces.
  • The inverter motor runs the drum at changing speeds.
  • Humidity sensors end the cycle when the load is dry.
  • The 59.7 cm width and 84.6 cm height keep it compact.
  • The 8 kg drum suits a couple or a small household.
  • Front-loading makes it simple to load and unload.

What we don't like about Whirlpool C WSD 83M WBS

  • Seven programs leave fewer choices for different fabrics.
  • An energy rating of D means it uses more power.
  • At 64 dB it is audible in a quiet room.
  • The 8 kg drum is small for a big family's washing.

Verdict

At 54.5 cm deep, the Whirlpool C WSD 83M WBS suits a small utility room or a flat where space is tight. It is a front-loading dryer with an 8 kg drum and an inverter motor, so the drum runs at changing speeds. Humidity sensors end the cycle when the load is dry. The 59.7 cm width and 84.6 cm height keep it compact. The trade-offs are seven programs and an energy rating of D, which is low. At 64 dB it is audible in a quiet room, so run it during the day. The 8 kg drum is enough for a couple or a small household. It suits a buyer with a small space who does a few regular loads and wants a simple machine.
